Thoughts from an active pensioner who is now somewhat past his Biblical "Use-by date"

"Why just be difficult, when with a little more effort you can be bloody impossible?"

John Major - Do he know what he is talking about?

According to today's Daily Mail,"Sir John Major warns Conservative Eurosceptics to keep quiet or Britain could end up leaving EU"
Doesn't he see the total lack of logic in his remark? In case he hasn't yet realised, the Eurosceptics want to leave the EU, and on the basis of what he says, they should make as much noise as possible!

He continues by saying that"they are undermining David Cameron’s attempts to claw back powers from Brussels"
Surely the situation is the exact opposite. If our EU partners know that we are likely to pull out, and that we are not bluffing, one imagines that they are more likely to make concessions to keep us in. After all, we all know that, in broad terms, they need us more than we need them, and that if we leave certain aspiring members might be less interested in joining.

About Me

I was a grammar school boy who went into engineering after having studied part time at Technical Colleges and gained the necessary experience to become a Chartered Engineer.
Initially I worked on defence electronics and subsequently on ground radar systems and radar data processing.

Now retired, my main interests are working with computers, family history research, church bell ringing and travel.

I am absolutely against Britain being a member of the E.U., and believe that whilst climate change may be taking place, there is absolutely no proof that it is man-made.
For these two reasons, I am unable to support the present day Conservative Party, although I always did so until Margaret Thatcher left office.
